There's no shortage of big questions this month, and today we discuss whether the world is physical or not.
This is part of my February philosophy series in which I aim not to promote a creed or doctrine but to honestly explore and inquire into these questions and encourage this in you.
Next listen: Do Other People Exist? (#132) ; Does the External World Exist? (#130)

This month we get very existential and I start with a big question: does the external world exist? That is, is there a physical, permanent, 3D world beyond your current experience?
"You do not know the external world because there is no external world" - me!

"Effort accumulates to the point where it is unstoppable."
We round off this month with a distilled, concise summary of all the best principles and tips I know for setting goals and following through on them.
We discuss goal-setting keys, long-term vs short-term, exponential change, developmental psychology, hockey sticks and pianos.

Episode 2 of my January series of Why NY's Resolutions Fail.
We cover a lot of ground today, from the top 3 learning myths, the source of these myths, to the fundamental assumption of pre-Achiever levels of development, to the keys to learning and success, to why talent is false, and more.
Key insight: Before Achiever levels of ego development, the self is seen as fixed.
This month, we discuss why New Year's resolutions fail, beginning with a little-known but crucial insight: that achievement requires particular, developmentally guided inner machinery that many people lack.

Mentioned in this episode:
Let's look at the deeper, embodied meaning of three crucial Christmas symbols: the Christmas Star, the Baby Jesus and the Virgin Mary.
"Your true nature is ultimately completely empty... but is also everything at the same time."
Mentioned in this episode:
In December, we are looking at Christmas from the point of view of spiritual truth, revealing the ultimate purpose behind this century-old, widely misunderstood tradition.
Today we cover who or what is Christ or Jesus? We answer this question not from a traditional, Christian perspective, but from the point of view of spiritual truth and transformation.
And once we step beyond shallow expressions and cultural traditions, it's really quite simple.
In terms of spiritual truth, Christ simply means your true nature. Jesus Christ is the human embodiment of your true nature.

Though for most people it is simply an opportunity for a day of hedonism or the ultimate celebration of the Christian faith. But once we step beyond shallow expressions and cultural traditions, it's really quite simple.
What is Christmas? Christmas means "Christ's mass" or the "mass of Christ". In terms of spiritual truth, Christ means your true nature.
In other words, Christmas is a celebration of your true nature.
